Near Intersection of I-35 & I-90 Southern Mn. | I guess I'd make a couple of passes around the outside driving completely manually. The first pass might need to be counter clock wise and then subsequent passes clockwise.
Once you have enough passes around the outside that will allow you to turn around on the outside I would "strike through" the middle with a straight AB line that parallels the longest somewhat straight side. This appears to be the side on the lower right. This should allow you to use autosteer for a large portion of the field but may result in some fairly large turns on the ends since the mower is permanently offset to one side.
I suppose if the turns became extremely wide you could use auto trac on one side of the remaining chunks and steer manually on the crooked side until that area was completed.
After that, a new AB line might be struck through parallel to the remaining bottom edge. After that was completely there would be plenty of odd chunks here and there which would need to be done manually.
It may be one of those situations where auto swath and AB lines are not really worth the trouble. You may find that just driving manually from the outside in and straightening the passes where you can is easier. How large is this entire field? This may have some bearing on the approach of whether to use auto trac or not.
